@ dougal
guessed as much. makes the find you made all the more important and relevant now. with the rising popularity of dreamlinux and it's engage bar it does lead to people asking whether puppy does or have something suitable like that? and of course the answer is yes !

@rhino

I am using a version of Puppy 2.16 unleashed, so there may be an improvement in JWM somewhere in there that allows swallow to work better, I'm not really sure though.

Getting Blinky to change color is a little tougher since it is an application embedded in the tray. The best I can give you is to edit the .jwmrc-tray file to change the colors of the xload indicator from red to some other color. You can also change its backgroundcolor. I think you may be able to edit the volume background as well in the same file.

I tried the -above desk switch but I kept having trouble with it rendering the faux transparency. After taking it off, it seems to work correctly. However this way, it does tend to get buried under open windows.

@Dasch
I take no credit for artistic flare The wallpaper is from Pizzasgood but I did design the JWM theme. It is called jwm-vu and is buried deep somewhere here on the forum. Thanks for the link to the other thread!_________________Visit the Puppy Linux Video Tutorials @ http://rhinoweb.us

it seems blinky does not like the numbers it wants the color name I think the numbers did not work but the color name did
and the bar seems not to stay on top of other windows_________________ 176 Icewm Themes vlc-0.8.6c-i586.petvlc-0.8.6c-i586.pet

Just checked the readme and realised my mistake. However I've come across another problem. The system will not allow me to shutdown until I terminate the wbar program. When I click shutdown it does nothing so I have to cancel it and then close wbar then it works. Any ideas?

Just a quick comment mate. Wanted to say that I love that desktop screenie of yours. Absolutely stunning! Pizza may have made the wallpaper, but you've done an excellent job of making JWM look breath-takingly beautiful. Who'd ever think that little window manager could look that great?

And yes---I've been a longtime admirer of your JWM themes as I have several of them myself back from when you'd made them.

Seems like we have you for an eye on JWM, and WhoDo for IceWM, Doughal on Xfce, and MU on KDE. We're so fortunate to have such artists in our midst!

Thanks, Eyes-only, I appreciate it. JWM has some potential in it. It's not going to match up with Beryl, but it can be quite serviceable. I think wbar helps it out a great deal._________________Visit the Puppy Linux Video Tutorials @ http://rhinoweb.us

This one is for the "experts": how about reducing the usable size of the pinboard(?) so that wbar can always be seen, instead of disappearing behind full-sized windows? This would give it a nice XFCE Panel behavior, allowing buttons to always be accessible without minimizing or closing open apps/windows.
